On Boxing Day morning my mom and I hiked up the mountain that overlooks the whole bay. This was something still left on my mom’s ‘Cabo bucket list’, but it is no longer possible to do without a guide. Our guide Enrique lives at the base of the trail with approximately 1 million dogs. He explained that the mountain has a special synergy of energy from the vibrations of the waves hitting it from both the Pacific and Sea of Cortez sides. He’s a pretty spiritual guy: he ‘called on the hawks’ to spread their scent on the trail to keep the snakes away, and he has dogs come along as they help to remove people’s negative energy.
This is Enrique and the 17 dogs that hiked with us. The poodle was surprisingly nimble.
Thursday we took the local bus to the neighbouring town of San José del Cabo for the weekly art walk.
The rest of the time was centered around great food, lots of reading by the pool, and catching a couple of the World Junior hockey games in local pubs.
On Friday my parents flew home and we moved to an Air BnB just outside of the city. I had chosen this place because it has a tennis court. Our last 2 days in paradise have revolved around (you guessed it) tennis!
Now it’s back to winter, though only for 1 month for me. I start my 6 months off work at the beginning of February. Stay tuned!
